Hello Everyone,

I have been using a Linksys Router BEFSR41 and needed additional ports.
Instead of just buying a hub I opted to buy another router with wireless
capability, a Linksys WRT54GS, but I am still in need of additional wired
ports, as I went wireless just for my laptop.

My question is, can I link the two routers together or do I still need a hub
to get my additional hard wire ports. The wired router does have an uplink
port. If it is posible, what configuration changes do I need to make to the
routers. Right now the router name is different between the two but the IP
address is the same (192.168.1.1). Do I disable DCHP on one of the routers
and if so which one. Right now my ISP assigns a static IP so the router is
configured that way. How do I configure the second router, either obtain IP
automaticly or static IP?

Also, do I end up with two differnet LANS unable to talk to each other being
that the routers most likely need seperate IP addresses?

My operating system is Win 200 Pro.

TIA

Rob Shane
